Could Michigan possible suck any more than it already does?

Cannot understand why anyone actually lives there!

What a bunch of crapola:
H.B. 5726 would saddle violators with excessive and unreasonable fines.

Left 7 years ago. Weather alone was a reason to leave, but tack on
Taxes and freedom . Alabama has been a very pleasant change

Neither do I, but I'm stuck. Family, basically. I'm working on my wife to get her to agree to retire in eastern TN. Wish me luck.

Some people, however, are lifers: http://www.mlive.com/lansing-news/in...michigan-.html

Occasionally a good t-shirt happens: http://downwithdetroit.spreadshirt.c...yours-A9184195

Get it?

I didn't think it was possible for Michigan to suck any worse than it already does....

Sent the bill's author the following email:

I STRONGLY OBJECT to this legislation.

1) There are already federal laws in place that currently regulate vehicle sound limits. Additional state regulations will unduly burden businesses in our state, causing increased costs to be passed to Michigan consumers.

2) A $10,000 fine for individuals violating this legislation is excessive and extremely punitive.

I can't even begin to understand the thinking behind this legislation. Truck tires at freeway speeds emit noise levels higher than these proposed standards. What were you thinking? Unbelievable!

You get a big NO CONFIDENCE vote from me.

Disgustedly,
Dave Hansen
